#queer slur

[biac-091299]

I love educating my generation (gen z) of the gay community about our shit and being told I know "too much" or "know everything" when I'm telling them something like "queer is a slur."

Thinking again about how Don Copal refers to Manny as a "jolly boy" at the beginning of the game, and like...

There's only like 3 things that could mean

1. He's calling him an Easter LARPer from the North of England

2. He's using "jolly" in a plausibly deniable way and saying Manny is just having a good ol' time

3. He's using oldass slang to call Manny a queer

Considering the other evidence for Bisexual Manny Calavera I am just saying yknow I'm just saying I know what I think

It’s homophobic to hate cas either way but jokes aside he’s literally so queer coded that hating him just comes down to being…homophobic

i love how everyone collectively came together and saw the “i’m not like the other girls” posts and just turned them into wholesome wlw/queer content like that’s so pure?

Why The Goldfinch is undoubtedly gay

Now I’ve already written a long-ass serious essay on ‘homoromantic subtext in The Goldfinch’, but I still feel the need to talk about this, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

The number one extremely important thing you should never forget when interpreting/analyzing Theo, is that he’s an incredibly unreliable narrator. 

He forgets things due to his extreme use of drugs and alcohol (e.g. he forgot he’d shown Boris the goldfinch, THE FUCKING GOLDFINCH you know, the most significant object in the WHOLE novel, the painting that drives most of the plot, the name of this goddAMN BOOK-)

He manipulates reality to fit his purposes 

He deals with internalized homophobia

He’s literally intoxicated most of the novel

What this means, is that you shouldn't blindly trust him. You should always take the things he says with a grain of salt. Especially when it comes to queerness. 

Theo and Boris were sexually intimate, and even though Theo tries to convince us that it meant nothing, his true feelings shine through. Also, If a boy is too afraid to tell his doormen he’ll miss them because that would be ‘gay’, you probably shouldn't believe him when he says he doesn't have feelings for the boy he's slept with. He tells us about their physical intimacy for the first (and last) time, when he’s jealous of Kotku (Boris’ girlfriend). If that's not saying something, then I truly don't know what is. 

And what makes it so clear even before this, that Theo’s sexually attracted to Boris, is that he’s oogling him all the goddamn time.

on page 307 he’s staring at Boris who just so happens to be wearing Theo’s underwear and nothing else, on page 284 he’s staring at his neck, on page 383 he’s staring at his lower abdomen, on page 272 he’s staring at his stomach, on page 308 he’s staring at his shirtless chest I MEAN COME ON

Okay say you're still not quite sure about this, I mean maybe the subtextual internalized homophobia was written accidentally? maybe the fans are just reading too much into it? maybe Theo isn't lying when he says there was nothing there? 

if only there was an explicit love confession... OH WAIT 

                             T H E R E  I S

Theo literally says the words “I love you” (about Boris, in the cab) right after getting KISSED on the MOUTH by none other than Boris himself. 

When it comes to Boris, I think it’s safe to say he was in love with Theo as well. After all, he was the one to drape an arm over Theo’s waist, he was the one to kiss Theo, he was the one who would’ve died for Theo.

The only reason for anyone to still deny the queerness of these characters would be homophobia, plain and simple.
